I have decided to finally take the time to organize our pictures. I came across a couple of things that I wanted to post but never did. So bear with me while I get us completely caught up!
On the way to work a couple of weeks ago, Jason went thru an ice fog. He took some pictures and I thought this one turned out pretty neat!
On the 6th of March, a good part of Switzerland had some snow. In Neuchatel, we just had rain. The first picture is a webcam picture in Le Locle. It took Jason about an 1 1/2 hours to get home that day. His biggest complaint was that people would stop right in the road and put on chains.
On Fridays, the boys go skiing with their school at Gstaad. They have 7 ski days and this coming Friday is their last one. They are with an instructor the entire day and there is about 5 kids per group. The boys have really enjoyed it. However, on this day, it was a blizzard and they skied in about 2 feet of powder. They hated it because they kept falling. Their leg muscles got a good work out that day. I snapped this from the webcam because I was curious on what kind of weather they were having. I was glad I made them dress warm that day!!! 
The last picture that I have is of a new cookie that I found that is exactly like Nona's "Crystali". Jason and the boys liked it but I didn't care for it. I like the other one better. This one has the sprinkled sugar. I saw some other ones at a grocery store downtown that looked home made. I didn't buy any because we still had these at home. I think I'll have to go back and get some to try and also they had some good strawberries on sale!
I don't know if you have noticed but everyone pretty much wears black. Katelyn and I are easy to spot in our bright colored jackets. Of course, Lucas is in shorts. Kate was happy to be able to carry the bread for the swans in her basket.
It was a little bit hazy that day but you could see the Alps. It is hard to see them in this picture.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that helmets are not big here for kids on bikes or scooters. We see the real little ones with helmets but by the age of 8 they seem to not exist. It makes it very hard for our kids to wear one. Of course, you can see who fights us the most and gets away with it every once in a while.
There are lots of swans right now. At least 50. They are so much fun to watch.
This big area was a perfect place for the kids to ride around. Kate was trying to race her brothers. They did a good job dodging the people on the sidewalks.
Kate was a proud biker. She slept really well that night. Of course the weather has changed this week. We had rain, sleet, snow and sunshine all on Tuesday. Today seems to be just an overcast, cold (37 F) day. They are predicting rain for the rest of the week.
